Elfen Lied 7


Nana and Bandou face off on the beach, with Bandou getting the worse of it. Nana kinda has a problem with breaking apart, losing a leg then putting it back ("Lego girl" as Momotato says). But the she shoots off an arm at Bandou as a weapon and knocks him down. And as he takes out his big gun his robocop arm completely shatters. Then she goes back to the usual Nana, worrying about what she should do. She doesn't want to go against what Papa said. Poor thing... she finds herself all alone and hungry... even though Kurama sent along a TON of money with her. Nana doesn't know how to use it at all.
While Mayu's out walking Wanta she runs into Nana sitting by a fire all by herself. Nana finally makes a friend. Good thing, 'cause she was burning all the money she had before Mayu stopped her ;) Mayu eventually asks Nana about Nyuu, so they go back to the house. Kouta has just stepped out to search for Mayu (while Nyuu and Yuka are... well, Nyuu's having a bit of fun. Where did she learn that?) and sees Nana. Nana doesn't sense Lucy/Nyuu's presence so she's about to walk away when Nyuu opens up the door.. Looks like we're gonna have a little fight here..
Looks like next time we're finally going to learn about Nyuu/Lucy's past. Y'all should look forward to it. Hee hee, I already know what happens ;) As I said before, the manga had me totally absorbed in it around this point and I couldn't stop reading. The anime is doing pretty well, though kinda shuffling things around a bit. We're past the halfway point now (the show is 13 episodes total), and there's plenty left to cover; another Dicronius to introduce, some other things. But I can't say much about that (and commenters please don't either) ;) I'm interested in seeing how it's going to end since the last volume (8) of the manga I read didn't resolve things. I'll be surprised, I guess :)


Volume 9 of the manga comes out on 19/10/04.
Most likely it will be a 3-4 chapter thingie like Vol 7.
The latest chapter is up till Chapter 82 in Young Jump,FYI.
The anime will deal up till vol.7 of the manga,IMO since things concluded nicely without that Foetus thingie right at the end....
I think that episode 8 will be pretty much what episode 2 was for KimiNozo: The hammer drops.
I'm too curious what happens once Kouta and Yuka learn about what's REALLY happened - though I guess this will take a little longer.
